Where Is the City Life Game with Friends Playtest Available?
Electronic Arts, commonly known as EA, is rolling out an exciting playtest for their latest addition to The Sims Project Rene, dubbed "City Life Game with Friends." This playtest is exclusively accessible on Android devices, ensuring your device is running at least Android 12 and boasts 4GB of RAM. However, this opportunity is not open to all; it's a select group who gets to dive into the urban adventure.
Mark your calendars—the playtest window is open until April 4th, 2025, but be mindful of the varying closure times across regions. It shuts down at 7 PM UTC, 6 AM AEST in Australia, and 3 AM PHT in the Philippines. Once the clock strikes, the game will no longer be playable, and you'll need to uninstall it from your device.
Keep in mind, this isn't the final product or a complete showcase of what's to come. It's a sneak peek into EA's experimental journey with Project Rene, hinting at the innovative directions they might explore in the future.
What’s in Store?
Once you're in the playtest, you're in for a treat. You'll have the freedom to craft a character that resonates with your personal style and mood. The vibrant neighborhood is your playground, filled with activities to keep you engaged. From browsing the latest trends at the Thrift Shop to unwinding at the local Café, or even contributing to community events, there's no shortage of things to do.
Collaboration is at the heart of the game. You can team up with others to organize block parties, make wishes at the plaza fountain, and embark on quests to find hidden collectibles. The game encourages social interaction and community building, centered around shared interests in art, music, and engaging conversations.
If this sounds like your kind of game, head over to the Google Play Store to join the playtest, provided you're in one of the eligible regions. And if you're not, stay tuned for our next update on Bandai Namco's decision to discontinue PAC-MAN Mobile on its 45th anniversary.
